Santiago 'F.S.' Almada: June 2008

I have decided to make a tribute to my father.

My dad was born in Necochea, Argentina. There, he spent most of his life until he met my mom and moved to Canada. My dad has a passion for soccer. He is usually found talking, studying, watching or coaching soccer! Even now as I write this, his team is playing in Tillsonburg for the WOYSL league. So you can say he's pretty committed. Anyway, he also loves a good burger (as do I). When we were in the Sarnia, we crossed the border, and drove 200km to go to a burger joint called Fuddruckers. It was soooo worth the wait!

My dad works at AGFA, a place where they make software for hospitals. So, sometimes I get to travel along with him and go to really fancy hotels and eat really good (emphasis on the good) food.

"In this picture, my dad and I were in downtown Toronto."

So as you can see, I really enjoy spending time with him. The most fun is when we go to buffets with me and Juan and we really have fun challenging each other to try different things. I remember when I was dared to eat sushi ( YUCK! ) which I did but then raced to the bathroom to spit out. Good times, Good times....

Anyway, my dad also leaves on big trips such as San Diego and (once) Belgium. I can't go to these ones so I'm home hoping he comes back soon. Also, I can't go to the Away games for his team because I have practice usually. That kinda sucks too. He also is VERY good at math. He helps me a lot and it's really nice to have someone to look up to. He is very understanding and helps me when I'm stuck. I look up to and love my dad and I wouldn't change it for anything. :)
